Lesson 1: Forces and Newton’s Three Laws
Dynamics is the study of forces. Forces explain, why objects move the way they do. Forces can
generally be described as a push or a pull.
In the most current widely-accepted theory, there are four fundamental forces:
Weakest Gravitational foree: acts on mass
Electromagnetic force: acts on charged objects
Weak nuclear force: involved in some nuclear decays
Strongest Stfong nuclear force: keeps the nucleus ofan stom together
‘The forces we use in Physics 20:
1. Gravitational Force: Any time there is mass in the question (which is always),
2. Surface forces:
* Normal Force: any time an object is in contact with a surface
© Always perpendicular to the plane of the surface.
Frictional Force: occurs when there is motion (or attempted motion) of an object across a
"rough" surface
© Always opposite to the direction of motion or the direction of the applied force which is
attempting to move the object.
3. Tension Force: the force transmitted through a taut rope attached to an object
‘* Always directed away from the object along the rope.
‘The tension at any point along the rope is equal in both directions
4, Applied Force: used when the source of the force is not known or when it’s irrelevant
* Ofcourse all forces are applied forces.Physics 20 Workbook Unit 3: Dynamics
Newton's Three Laws
Ist Law: Law of Inertia
* An object’s state of motion will remain constant (constant velocity) unless acted upon by an
unbalanced (net) force.
«Inertia is the resistance an object has towards changes in its current state of motion.
«Inertia is measured by the mass of an object, the more mass an object has the more resistance
there is to acceleration.
3rd Law: Forces come in pairs. Equal but opposite forces
* The interaction between two objects will produce an equal pair of forces; one force on each
object but acting in opposite directions
Try: Draw another example
Force of bt en bal
N
Force ofall on bat
Although forces come in pairs we will often ignore one of them. For example, if want to
determine the acceleration of the baseball we only examine the forees acting on the ball. We
would ignore the fact that the ball is exerting a force on the bat, as it is irrelevant to the motion
of the ball.
2nd Law: F= ma
‘The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the unbalanced force applied and
inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Lesson 2: Mass and the Gravitational Force
The gravitational force is the force created when two masses interact.
‘© The force between the two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses, and
inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
‘+ The force is the result of an interaction with the gravitational field ( g ) that surrounds each mass.
‘+ The Barth's gravitational field is relatively constant close to its surface and has a value of 9.81 Nikg.
This means that for every kilogram of mass that an object contains, the Earth exerts 9.81 N of force
on that object. Therefore, the acceleration of any mass close to the surface of the Earth is 9.81 m/s?
Mass
Mass measures the amount of matter in an object.
* Mass is measured in kilograms.
Weight
Weight is the measurement of the force of gravity on an object, measured in Newton's
‘© Weight can be considered as a scalar. It is the magnitude of the force of gravity.
‘© The weight of an object can change, as it is dependent upon the location of the object relative to
the Earth.

Lesson 3: Free-body Diagrams and Net Force Equations
A free-body diagram is a drawing that shows the relative size and direction of the forces acting on a
mass. The diagram is used to develop the net force equations that allow the forces to be added and
analyzed.
To draw a free-body diagram:
* A point is used to represent the centre of mass.
* Force vectors are drawn outward from this point.
* The length of the force vector illustrates the magnitude (size) of the force.
© Longer arrow larger force, shorter arrow smaller force.
The angles between vectors allow us to choose the mathematics that will be used.
E.g. 1 A 1200kg car accelerates east along a horizontal road. Draw a free-body diagram for this
situation and write the net force equations that could be used to analyze the forces on the car.
Try: A ball is thrown vertically upwards into the air, Draw a free-body diagram to illustrate the forces
acting on the ball during each part of the motion, Write the net force equations that would be used
to analyze the motion.
a) While it is being thrown. b) After it has left the hand.
Solving Dynamics Problems
* Drawa free-body diagram
# Indicate the direction of acceleration (if known) and make that direction positive.
© Iaceeleration is positive then Fxe: will always be positive.
+ Write an Fast equation that includes the direction of the forces.

Lesson 5: Force of Friction
Friction is a resistive force that opposes motion. The friction we will discuss occurs when two solid
surfaces are in contact with each other and attempt to slide past each other, referred to as sliding friction
or kinetie friction
Kinetic friction is dependent upon
‘© The nature of the two surfaces (ie. rough, smooth)
‘© The size of the contact force (normal force) between the two surfaces.
Kinetic friction is not dependent upon:
‘© The surface area in contact.
‘© The speed of the two surfaces relative to each other (usually).
Kinetic friction occurs when two surfaces that are in contact move relative to each other.
E.g. 1 A 30.0-kg mass is pushed horizontally along a surface and the coefficient of friction between the
two surfaces is 0.750, What is the magnitude of the kinetic friction?
Static friction occurs when the two surfaces are stationary relative to each other and a force is applied
in an attempt to cause motion.
* The surface reacts to the applied force, exerting an opposing static friction force equal to the
applied force, keeping the object stationary.
‘© As the applied force increases the static fiction force also increases, but the surface can only
exert a maximum amount of static friction.
p.l7Physics 20 Workbook Unit 3: Dynamics
Graphing the Frictional Force vs. Applied Force
‘© When the applied force exceeds the maximum static friction force, motion starts and the two
surfaces start to slide past each other.

‘When analyzing a system it is often useful to consider the external forces that act on the system (such as
gravity, normal, and friction) and ignore the internal forces between the masses (such as tension and
contact forces).
Internal forces can be determined by: isolating a single mass, considering only the forces that act upon
that mass, and knowing that the acceleration of mass is the same as the acceleration of the system.

Lesson 8: Forces at Angles
Forces at angles should be broken into components so that the Fy. force in both the x and y
directions can be determined separately.
The normal force is affected by components acting in the vertical direction.
‘* If the vertical applied force is upward, the normal force is decreased.
* If the vertical applied force is downward, the normal force is increased.
